Description: | A complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy hooked clasp. At its centre is a heart-shaped motif surrounded by scrolls forming an openwork foliate design. On the attachment side of this, aligned with its longest side set transversely, there is an open rectangular loop. The opposite end of the main design extends into a sharp pointed inwardly-curving hook. The reverse side of the clasp is plain. There is a very similar example illustrated in Read (Hooked Clasps and Eyes, 2008, p112 No. 449). He assigns a date range to these types of circa 1500-1625 AD. The clasp measures 35.23 mm long; 16.60 mm max width; 13.19 mm wide at loop end; 2.24 mm at the thickest point and weighs 3.18 grams.
